CHELMSFORD
The following is a report of the work of the Middlesex County Extension Ser-
vice in the town of Chelmsford for the year 191+2.
Assistance was given the Federal Milk Market Administrator in a survey
of all milk trucking routes in the town. Dairy farmers were assisted in planning
for increased milk production, thru improvement of pastures, by use of lime and
superphosphate, the seeding of Ladino clover and rotation grazing of pastures.
Edwin Warren, Theodore Emerson, Andrew Boumil, and Andrew Blaisdell had
their herds in the Dairy Herd Improvement Association; Robert Moore and James E»
Reardon had their herds in the Herd Health Association.
Chelmsford poultrymen have been assisted in disease control, production
problems, and record keeping by individual farm visits and circular material. Pou-
ltry meetings were held in the Town Hall in March and December, at which meetings
poultry ranges; brooding; poultry house ventilation; disease control; and war-
time poultry farm management were discussed.
The Home Department conducted a canning demonstration to show the newer
practioes and methods of food preservation. The Home Demonstration Agent assisted
in judging the handwork and flowers at the Grange Fair.
Eighty-four boys and girls were enrolled in 1+-H Club work and carried on
activities in clothing, food, handicraft, poultry, dairy, canning, and gardening.
These clubs were under the supervision of Miss Barbara Noon; Mrs. A. H. Russell;
Mrs. Frank Pearson, Miss Pearl Kouias; Miss Julia Koulas; Mrs. Lilla M. Dexter;
V^rne Woodard; George Pedersen; Percy Beardsley; W. G. Hannon and Bernard French.
Mrs. Percy Beardsley was chairman of the committee sponsoring 1+-H Club
work in Chelmsford.
Two club members attended Camp Middlesex in Ashby. George Pedersen was
a delegate to the State Camp at Amherst. The Parlee brothers were fourth in the
commercial garden class and the Straughan Partnership was fourth in the home garden
class in the Middlesex North Garden Contest.
The Victory Garden Program was initiated thru the Chelmsford Garden Com-
mittee.
Spray notices were mailed throughout the season to aid the fruit growers
in producing one of the largest and cleanest apple crops on record.

WELFARE
I do not believe the expenditures of welfare will depreciate
to a much lower degree than in the year 1942. At the present time
the recipients of this form of aid are unemployable either because
of s 1 ckness, physical or mental weakness. Due to the increased
cost of living expenses and also an increase In hospital rates that
went into effect Dec. 1, 1942 any appreciable reduction In the wel-
fare load will be offset by a larger budget required and the step-
up in ho so it al charges.
In addition to the cost of Outside Relief within the Town the
Welfare department has assumed the expense of support on the former
inmates of the Chelmsford Town Farm, who are now being boarded at
the Westford Infirmary at the present time. At the special Town
Meeting held July 23, 1942 It was voted to discontinue our infirm-
ary which necessitated placing the three inmates elsewhere.
70
REPORT OF WELFARE .AGENT
This change was made Aug. 1, 194-2. This additional burden on the
Welfare department Is estimated at $1500.00 per year.
OLD AGE ASSISTANCE
The number of recipients of this form of aid amounted to 214-
In December, 19^-2, which was 6 more than In December of the pre-
ceding year. This would seem to indicate that we have nearly
reached the so called saturation point on Old Age Assistance, which
means that there are almost as many recipients who are being closed
out by death and various other reasons as there are being accepted
for this form of assistance.
The Massachusetts Legislature passed the liberalized amendment
to the Old Age Law which amendment became effective April 30, 19^2.
As a result of this it was mandatory that cash payments to many
Individuals receiving this form of assistance be increased sub-
stantially as of May 1, 19^-2.
There has been a growing tendency by private hospitals to In-
crease their rates on convalescent care of aged and infirm pat lent s-
these increases amounting to 50$ * n many cases. If this becomes
state wide, together with additional Increases expected due to high
living costs, it will certainly Indicate another steo-up in Old Age
grants.
AID TO DEPENDENT CHILDREN
This form of relief which is granted to widows with dependent
children remains at a more constant level than other categories of
aid. The expenditure for 19^-2 was only slightly in excess of the
year 19^1.
I am grateful to the Board of Public W e lfare, the Bureau of
Old Age Assistance and other Town Officials for the generous help
accorded me during the year 19^2.
Respectfully submitted,
Leonard S. MacElroy

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
To the Citizens of the Town of Chelmsford
The Board of Health herewith submits it's report for the year 19i|2»
The Board organized for the year as follows; Raymond H. Greenwood, Chairman;
Edmund J. Welch, Secretary 5 and Harry L. Shedd, Jr. Mr. Welch served as secretary
until October, 1%2; at which time he entered the Armed Foroes of Our Country.
His duties as secretary sinoe this time have been taken over by Mr. Shedd.
Although absent, Mr. Welch is still a member of this Board inasmuch as it is
our understanding that anyone entering the service of his Country may retain pub-
lic office if he so desires. At this time we wish to offer our best wishes to Mr.
Welch.
The Board takes this opportunity to express it's sympathy to the family of
a long and faithful past-member of the Department, George McNulty.
This Department in the past year has endeavored to stay within the limits
of it's appropriation as set up by the Finanoe Board. In this respect we feel
that we have been successful to the extent that we have turned baok a considera-
ble amount of money to the Town Treasury.
We have this year appointed Daniel E. Haley as Milk Inspector to replace our
previous non-resident inspector, since we feel that such positions should be fill-
ed, if possible, by a qualified citizen of our own town.
An invitation is hereby extended to residents of the Town to attend any of
our meetings. We shall try our utmost to give our best attention and considera-
tion to all problems pertaining to the Department.
To the other Departments of the Town for their co-operation during the year
we extend our thanks.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH AGENT AND SCHOOL NURSE
Mr. Raymond Greenwood, Chairman
Board of Health, Chelmsford, Mass.
Dear Sirs:
Following are the diagnosed contagious diseases reported for the year 1%2
(A case is not recognized as being diagnosed unless seen by a physician)
Chicken Pox 7
Dog Bite 9
German Measles 2
Measles.. 2
Mumps 9
Tuberculosis (pulmonary)... 1
Whooping Cough 5
I hope that we will have close co-operation on the part of physicians and
parents in regard to the reporting of contagious diseases, during the ooming year
73
in order that no drastic measures need be taken. PhysicianB may obtain postal
cards for the reporting of said diseases at the Board of Health office.
In April 19^ a Diptheria immunization clinic was held. This was arranged
a month ahead of schedule due to the prevaienoe of a number of cases of Diptheria
in a nearby city. Many parents took advantage of this offer. I hope that during
the coming year parents will make a special effort to have every child immunized
against Diptheria and successfully innoculated against Smallpox. We oannot afford
to have epidemics of these or any other diseases due to negligence on our part.
We have planned on having a dental survey of the school childred, if possi-
ble, for the purpose of determining the various needs of the town as a whole,
while working for a suitable dental program. I have had a consultation with Dr.
Hopkins of the State Department of Public Health and she advised said survey.
I hope that parents will co-operate by having their dentists fill out the ques-
tionaires sent home and return same to the schools as soon as possible.
Let me say here, good teeth can be planned. Nature does the building but
we must provide materials and arrange for the proper upkeep. A decayed tooth is
a menace to good health, as it is a center from whioh infection may be carried to
other parts of the body.
All pupils have been given a physical examination by the school physicians,
Dr. A. G. Scoboria and Dr. J. E. Boucher. Those pupils taking part in the vari-
ous athletic programs have been given a more rigid examination. I wish that par-
ents would make a special effort to have defects noted, corrected as 3oon as poss-
ible. It costs less to maintain health than to repair it.
I believe that in the schools, health should be "built into" the entire pro-
gram, rather than be "fitted onto" an already functioning school program,
I am in hopes of having a Red Cross Home Nursing Class at the High School
in the near future, as soon as the necessary equipment can be obtained.

During the year I met with the Tuberculosis Seal Committee and plans were
discussed in relation to the transporting of patients to TrYaltham for X-Rays and
physioals.
I have had consultations with Miss Gertrude Martin, Dr. Archibald and var-
ious other members of the State Department of Public health. We have discussed
various cases and situations in order that the town might have the best health
program possible, with the amount of money appropriated for health. I think we
Bhould remember that the first line of defense lies in the health of our people.

Protecting civilian defense is home defense.

Mr. Raymond H. Greenwood, Chairman,

Chelmsford, Mass.
Dear Sirs:
Sinoe taking over the duties of Milk Inspector July 15, 19^42 I have coll-
ected samples from practically every source supplying the people of the Town of
Chelmsford with milk and cream.
Samples from individual cows were colleoted at thirteen different farms.
All samples have "been analyzed by the Howard Laboratories of Amherst, Mass, and,
on the whole, found very satisfactory. The milk from one herd was found to be
badly infected with "mastitis" and milk from this herd was excluded until condi-
tions were remedied. All samples were tested for total solids, fats and bacteria.
Average total solids for Milk-Pastuerized was 13.01 %% Fats h»0Of»
There are now 32 wagon licenses, 35 store licenses, 2 licensed for milk
pastuerising plants and 9 stores licensed to sell oleomargarine.
I have received oompliments from State Health Authorities upon the quality
of milk being sold in the Town of Chelmsford and for the manner in which the Milk
Department of the Board of Health is being handled.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF FIRE ENGINEERS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Chelmsford, Mass,
We have the honor to submit the annual report of the Board of Fire Engineers.
This year has been filled with many and unusual problems which have been
the common lot of all connected with government. The Board have had their share
and have tried to solve them for the best interests of the town and for the safety
of the citizens and their property.
One of our chief problems has been the numerous changes in personnel all of
79
whom have been trained men and their loss has been keenly felt. Among these were
our chief at South Chelmsford, Charles House and the Captain at the Centre, Allan
Kidder. Both these men have served the Department faithfully over a long period
of time.
However this is our contribution to the defense of our Country and we are
proud of our boys who have joined the armed forces to fight for freedom and right
eousness.
Their places have been filled with others whose zeal and earnestness prom-
ises that our efficiency will not be impaired.
We have cooperated with the Defense Committee in organizing a group of aux-
iliary firemen who will serve us well when the emergency comes.
The fuel oil situation with its rationing has necessitated the inspection
of equipment and storage facilities in over JOv homes, the issuing of permits and
the collection of £264.. 50 in fees which sum has been turned over to the Town Treas-
urer.
In spite of priorities and difficulties in obtaining supplies and replace-
ments we have sucoeeded in anticipating our needs so that apparatus, equipment
and quarters are all in first class condition and ready to meet the test when the
call may come.
We have maintained friendly relations with the Departments of surrounding
cities and towns and they stand ready to furnish us with help whenever oailed.
We in turn have rendered them service on several occasions including the City of
Lowell, whose aid is and has beai a most valuable asset.
We have worked closely with our Forest Fire Warden whose excellent work
has coped with many brush fires and prevented extensive damage from this source.
We would take this occasion to thank our Police Department who by their
splendid cooperation have rendered this Department every possible help.
In closing may we express our confidence that with the nresent condition
of our equipment and training of our personnel, we can face the uncertain days
that lie ahead, certain that the Denartaent is prepared to afford our citizens
the proptection they need.
Respectfully submitted,
John Dixon

REPORT OF THE CHELMSFORD TOWN FOREST COMMITTEE
This last year has seen no activity on the part of your Tovm Forest Com-
mittee due to the War, the absence of any appropriation for this purpose as well
as the absenoe of man power in these times.
The recommendations of your Committee made in our last Annual Report based
upon the advice of Harold 0. Cook, Director and Chief Forester of the Mass. Dep-
artment of Conservation, still stand.
The excess cutting of timber now going on due to War needs will make for
the future a very definite soarcity. The new Forestry Laws related to the taxa-
tion on growing timber makes the growing of timber a more profitable venture.
On our Gage Lot set aside by the Town for Town Forest purposes there is
quite a growth of small pine which is being smothered out by gray birch and this
pine needs freeing to attain a normal growth.
This operation with a small amount of spot planting, along with some oare
through the early growing years, should eventually f^ive the town a good stand of
pine on this particular lot.
80
At the present time with the great laok of man power your Committee feel*
that nothing can be done but looking ahead to the Post War period when it may be-
oome neoessary to find employment for people, it would be wise to give serious
consideration to the projeot of making this land produce something for the Town'a
benefit •

REPORT OF FOREST WARDEN
January 27, 19U3
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
To the Citizens of Chelmsford
Greetings:
I shall devote the main part of my report this year to the immediate needs
of this department, rather than the usual summary of last years activities.
I am introducing an article in the Annual Town Meeting Warrant this year
to purchase a new pump and other necessary fittings, together with 500 feet of
new l-ir inch hose, which will cost approximately $900 # 00; to be installed and be-
come an integral part of the new truck purchased in 19^1 •
The main reasons for this arej to make the truck one that can be quickly
and easily put into operation by one man and to obtain a greater volume of water
at higher pressure than is now possible; also, by this means the Town obtains
an extra piece of apparatus comparable to the large pumpers, which will be avail-
able, in case of emergency anywhere in Town, should the main apparatus be in use.
In regard to the customary appropriation of $900,00 for the operation and
maintenance of the department; it is evident on analyzing the situation that it
is and has been for several years an insufficient sum, owing to the fact that the
Fixed c harges are now muoh greater than in previous years. Formerly of the
$900.00 appropriated about $100.00 was in fixed charges, and now nearly $600.00
is in form of fixed expense, due to inorease in Forest Warden salary --cost of
telephones— insuranoe; this leaves $300*00 to attend all other, which includes,
gasoline, oil, repairs, soda, aoid and many other small items as well as includ-
ing labor at fires.
Many times during any year, dox alarms, are sent in, calling out the Fire
Dept. for grass and woods fires and the cost of this is borne by this department.
These alarms average between $!(.. and $5* P 91 " call, which will be greater
this year owing to increased pay granted recently.
The items included in the $900.00 asked for are as follows:
1. Centrifugal Front End Pump, 250 gal per min ....$1+50.00
Installation — flat oharge. 50.00
2 Lengths 3" Suction hose 1.75 per ft 20' each 35.00
Couplings for " " $10 per set 20.00
2-g- to 1-g (2 way valve) or Siamese.. 25. 00
1 Coupling 3" to 2-g" Pump to Hydrant 7.70
1 Each, double male — double female 1^"«. U»50
2 Nozzels l|r inch © $15 each ...30.00
500 ' «1^ inch single jacket hose © 55/zf per ft 275.00
$897.20
The amount asked for this year does not completely meet the needs of the
department; The small equipment such as, pump cans, extinguishers (chemical)
brooms, etc, of which none have been purchased for many years, and that left of
the old lot is in poor condition.
81
Briefly, in regard to last years fire season. The weather conditions were
nearly more normal than for some years previously, rain oocuring frequently, which
cut the number of fires to 112. Forty of these were extinguished without any help
by your Forest Warden and 10 others with one man. Thirty-seven were box alarms
in various seotions of the Town, of the remainder extra help up to 10 men was
required.
This information is given in advance of the Town Meeting, in order that
the Citizens of ttie Town may determine, whether or not, to inorease the effic-
iency of the department.
I sincerely hope that the Citizens of the Town will take favorable action
on this article, at the annual meeting next March.
Respectfully submitted
H. M. Sturt event,
Forest Warden
REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD
Monthly meetings of the Board have been held during the year except in July
and August.
No applications have been received for land sub-divisions this year due pro-
bably to war conditions.
We have held consultations with town officials for discussions of matters'
pertaining to the welfare of the town.
An instructive talk was given to the Board by a Federal Planning Engineer
of the Public Works Reserve on the subject of long term planning for town benefits.
With the vflluable assistance of our Town Accountant, Mr. Winthrop A. Parkhu-
rst we have compiled and printed a complete financial summary of the receipts and
expenditures of the town a period of the past eleven years.
This summary should be a help to the selectmen and the finance committee.
Suggestions have been made by several citizens regarding beneficial changes
in some of the zoning, building and other town by-laws, which we have under con-
sideration jjid may offer for your action at a future date.
Two articles sponsored by t he Board relative to changing street names were
accepted at the last Annual Town Meeting.

of Chapter I4J-1., General Laws.

Mr. Theodore N. Waddell

Sir:
In accordance with your instructions I have made an audit of the books and
accounts of the town of Chelmsford for the period from April 7, 19U0» the date
of the previous audit, to May 23, 19^42, and submit the following report thereon:
The financial transactions, a3 recorded on the books of the several depart-
ments reoeiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collect-
ion were examined and verified by comparison with the books and records of the
town treasurer and the town accountant.
The books and accounts in the office of the town accountant were examined
and oheoked. The ledger accounts were analyzed, the receipts, as recorded, be-
ing compared with the treasurer's cash book and the payments being cheoked with
the selectmen's warrants authorizing the disbursement of town funds. The appro-
priations and loans authorized, as reoorded on the ledger, were checked with the
town clerk's records of financial votes passed in town meeting.
In checking the appropriations, it was noted that amounts have been appro-
priated by the town after the determination of the annual tax rate and that such
appropriations have been raised in the levy of the succeeding year, but expend-
itures against such appropriations have been made in the year in which the appro-
priations were voted. While liabilities could have been incurred against these
appropriations as soon as voted, no expenditures should have been made therefrom
until the year in whioh the appropriations were raised by taxation.
Attention is also called to the fact that expenditures for highway projects
carried on by the town in conjunction with the State and county may not exceed
the aggregate amount of the appropriations voted therefor by the town, together
with the amounts actually received on account of allotments. When the reimburse-
ments from the State and county are not received in time to provide funds for pay-
ment of pay-rolls and materials, temporary loans under the provisions of Section
6k, Chapter Uh, General Laws, may be issued by the treasurer without a vote of
the town.
A trial balance was taken off proving the accounts to be in balance, and a
balance sheet, showing the financial condition of the town as of May 23, 19^42,
was prepared and is appended to this report.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The
reoorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the records in the departments
collecting money for the town and with the other sources from which money was
paid into the town treasury, while the payments were checked with the treasury
warrants.
The cash balance on May 23, 19^2* was verified by reconoiliation of the bank
balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit and by actual count of
the cash in the office.
The payments on account of maturing debt and interest were proved with the
amounts falling due and were ohecked with the oancelled securities and coupons
on file.
The savings bank books and securities representing the investments of the
several trust funds in custody of the town treasurer, the treasurer of the lib-
rary trustees, and the insurance fund commissioners, were examined. The income
was proved, the disbursements were verified, and the balances were reconciled with
the town accountant's ledger.
85
The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined
and oheoked. The tax titles and tax possessions on hand were listed and compared
with the town accountant's ledger and with the records in the Registry of Deeds.
The hooks and accounts of the town collector were examined and oheoked in
detail. The tax acoounts outstanding, aooording to the previous examination, and
all subsequent commitments were audited and compared with the assessors' warrants
for their collection. The departmental bills committed for collection were aud-
ited and comoared with the records in the several departments committing such
bills.
The recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer,
the abatements, as entered, were checked with the assessors' records of abate-
ments granted, the taxes transferred to the tax title account were reconciled
with the reoords of tax titles held by the town, and the outstanding taxes and
departmental accounts receivable were listed and proved with the town accountants
ledger.
The outstanding taxes and tax titles were further verified by mailing notices
to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the
town, the replies received thereto indicating that the outstanding aooounts, as
listed, are correct.
The financial records of the town clerk were examined and oheoked. The col-
lections on account of town licenses, dog licenses, and sporting licenses were
verified and checked with the payments to the town, county and State.
In addition to the departments and accounts mentioned, the books and accounts
of the several other departments collecting money for the town or coinmitting bills
for collection were examined. The recorded collections were checked with the pay-
ments to the treasurer, and the cash balances were verified by actual oount of
the oash on hand.
It was noted that receipts of the cemetery department for opening graves,
foundations, etc., are retained by the employees who do the work in lieu of com-
pensation, in whioh connection it is recommended that all such receipts be paid
into the town treasury as required by Section 53» Chapter I4I4., General Laws, and
that the compensation of the employees be paid on authority of selectmen's war-
rants and charged to an appropriation provided therefor.
The surety bonds of the town officials required by law to furnish suoh surety
were examined and found to be in proper form.
Appended to this report, in addition to the balanoe sheet, are tables show-
ing a reconciliation of the cash of the town treasurer, treasurer of the library
trustees, and town clerk, summaries of the tax, tax titles, tax possession, and
departmental accounts, as well as schedules showing the condition and transactions
of the several trust funds.
For the cooperation received from the several town officials during the pro-
gress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express
appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
Herman B. Dine
Assistant Director of Accounts

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of the Town of Chelmsford:
We herewith submit the report of your School Committee for
the year ending December 31, 1942.
The closing of this year finds conditions within the School
Department somewhat more settled. The adjustment to new teachers,
new schedules, and general unaccustomed war-time measures, finds
our enrollment in the High School only slightly affected from that
of last year, and pupils in both High School and Elementary Schools
readily adapting themselves to these changes.
The necessarily deferred course in physical education is now
in full swing and intra-mural sports are being enthusiastically
received. Mr. Schulte, the instructor, is well equipped both by
training and experience to direct all branches of sports and has
plans for a complete program from the seventh grades through to,
and including senior high school students.
This Board is sincerely grateful to those citizens of Chelms-
ford who assisted in the athletic program last fall when it was
impossible to find a coach to replace Mr. Boyce. Chelmsford has
always considered High School sports in the light of recreation
and physical development, and a part of its educational program.
The conduct of the three major teams in varsity football, base-
ball and basketball has always justified that attitude by clean,
friendly sportsmanship. We hope that spirit will continue.
In compliance with the United States Government two new
courses have been added to the High School curriculum, one in ap-
proved Aeronautics and another in Mathematics for seniors who
will soon be a part of our armed forces. Both courses are well
attended by seniors and some junior boys.
For the past three years a great deal of thought has been
devoted to the establishing of a complete English Department in
the High School. Because of war-time emergencies the Board has
had to put its plans to one side, but some strides have already
been taken and textbooks which will be part of the department's
foundation are already being used by teachers in the seventh and
eighth grades. A complete syllabus is being planned by your
superintendent and English teachers which will meet the require-
ments of any and all colleges and universities. The completion
of such a department will take much thought and hours of work by
those involved.
At the present time every teacher in the High School is do-
ing extra work in oraer to meet an intensfied war program and the
school day has been lengthened about one half hour.
There are several recommendations which this Board would like
to make this year, but two seem to merit special consideration.
One is the matter of janitors' salaries, which are still inade-
quate to meet the present cost of living. In almost every in-
stance more work has been thrown onto the shoulders of these men,
121
and may we say here that to replace any one of them with others
of equal character, Intelligence and dependability would be im-
possible at this time. We ask your sincere consideration in
this matter of increased salaries for your school janitors.
The second matter is of equal concern to this Board and we
feel that we are making no over-statement when we predict that,
unless this condition is remedied before long, the Town will find
itself with a serious health as well as financial problem on its
hands. We refer to the sewage disposal at the McFarlin school.
Inadequate, and a makeshift from its installation, it has become
a yearly problem and expense. Any questions concerning this
matter and interest on the part of you citizens will be welcome
by this Board.
Other matters for consideration are the repairs and improve-
ments on school buildings in all parts of the town. Several of
the buildings need painting, and we feel that we would not be
unwise to urge the same procedure that we did last year, the
saving of money in initial cost for the work and a future saving
in fuel and maintenance in years to come, by the use of brick
veneer. We urge your consideration of this investment.
In offering this report for your information, may we express
our sincere thanks to our Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Wright,
for his advice and support, and to the entire faculty of teachers
for their helpful cooperation during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
Marjorie M. Kiberd
Harold E. Clayton
John A. Mc Adams .

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT.
To the School Committee:
My fifteenth annual report Is hereby submitted to
you „nd to the citizens of Chelmsford.
T^EACHERS.
In the High School there were five vacancies. Emile
G a uthier resigned in January in order to accept a position
in Worcester Academy, and I^sabelle M. Doyle in August
to accept a position in Lowell High. George R. Knightly,
George W. Boyce, and Gerald A. Ivers were given leaves of
absence in the summer when they entered service in the Navy.
Walter L. Hannan, Jr., Principal at Quessy, resigned
In January, a nd later entered the Army, and at Highland
Ave. M. Weldon Haire, Principal, was given leave of absence
when inducted into the Army at the close of the school year.
In November Esther M. Thayer of the McP a rlin School was
given leave of absence when she was Inducted in the WAVES.
At the Westlands Eleanor Gray resigned at the close of
school to be married.
In filling these positions three college graduates
who were teaching in elementary schools were transferred
to the High School: Eleanor Donahoe, who finished the year
at Quessy as Principal; Mrs. Charlotte S. Carriel, who
substituted at Princeton St. from October to January; and
Mildred M. Hehir, who substituted in the same school from
January to June. Mrs. Carriel is a graduate of Mount
Holyoke who had had ten years of experience in the Concord,
N.H., High School. Miss Hehir is a graduate of Chelmsford
High School and Regis College. Marjorie B. Scoboria, a
graduate of Wellesley, with an M.A. from Radcliffe, who had
seven years experience in Tewksbury and five in other towns,
w~as elected to a High School position, and the last vacancy
was filled by the election of Barbara E. Grant, a graduate
of Chelmsford High School a nd Colby College.
For the principalship at Quessy, Ann M. Hickey, a
graduate of Lowell Normal, who had taught upper grades
in Groveland for eleven years, was secured. Mrs. Lilla
M, Dexter of Chelmsford, a graduate of Lowell Normal who
had taught for several years, was given the 5th and 6th
grade room at Quessy in January.
At Highland Ave. Mary H. Ryan was given the princi-
palship and the 7th a nd 8th grade room. Nora E. Miskell
was transferred to the 5th and 6th grade room from South
Chelmsford. Bertha R. Barrett was secured for the
upper room a t South. She is a graduate of Lowell N^ormal
who had taught thirteen years in Berlin, Conn.
At Princeton St. School, Genevieve E. Jantzen, Princi-
pal, was transferred to the 8th grade from the 3d, and the
latter room given to Maggaret D. Sousa, teacher of reading
to special groups last year.
123
In the Westlands there is now a teacher for each
grade. Rita Foley, who had been taking summer school courses
to prepare for upper grade work, was transferred from the
1st grade to the 7th. Lena L. Genetti, a graduate of
Boston University, and Florence M. Kelley, a graduate of
Lowell Teachers College, were chosen for the 5th and the
first grades. Both are graduates of Chelmsford High School.
SALARIES.
My report of last year discussed the requests of
groups of teachers for salary increases, and stated what had
already been done in that line. Attention was called to
what the Teachers Federation termed " the growing movement in
Massachusetts toward improved salaries", and the fact was
stated that thirty-seven places had already taken favorable
action. Our teachers asked for a flat increase to all of
$200, to date from January 1, 1942. We prepared a budget
including that amount, and after discussion in town meeting
it was eTdopted. In view of the fact that the increase was
retro-active to January 1st, and that it applied to all
teachers including beginners, the usual step-rate increase
in Septmebr was omitted.
The prediction of the Federation that teachers' sala-
ries would increase has been upheld by the action taken very
generally by the towns and cities. There is no official
report as yet, but the Federation has listed town after
town as granting increases of either a per cent of the
former pay or a flat increase. One of about $200 is a
common one. There is frequently a provision that it shall
be greater fro those teachers who had been receiving the
smaller salaries. Since so many places have granted
increases, I would expect that when the next report on
salaries is made by the Department of Education Chelmsford
will be found in about the same relative position as in the
past, in the lower half of the comparable towns as regards
salaries, as it is near the bottom in per pupil costs.
In view of the sharp rise in cost of living, the increase of
a year ago certainly cannot be considered excessive,
REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS.
The 1941 report listed desirable repairs a nd improve-
ments at several schools when conditions should warrant.
None of these was undertaken. The same buildings now need
painting and other work more than they did a year ago.
Neither chimneys nor roofs needed attention last year,
but a part of the roof covering at East Chelmsford must be
replaced this season. Repairs to plumbing, heating systems,
wiring, doors, windows and floors were made as necessary,
and the janitors were furnished paint, varnish, floor
seal, etc. for the usual inside work after the buildings were
cleaned in the summer.
One expense item demands consideration by the Town,
Sewage disposal at the schools in the Center has always been
a problem. The lack of a sewer system is more of a detri-
12h
ment here than at the other schools , Surface water in the
spring disappears very slowly from the playground In the
rear of the buildings, and as late as May or June the
ground wate~r level is only a foot or two below the surface.
Until the addition was built at the High School we had
trouble there nearly every spring. Now that building has
a real septic tank, placed as high on the alope north of the
building as was possible, and the effluent from the tank,
which is clear but not odorless, is discharged once or twice
a day into a drainage area of about 10,000 square feet, a
little above the level of the field below. That system
should not ne ed attention for many years .
At the McF a rlin School the situation is worse than
it ever was at the old High School. Toilets are in the base-
ment and the soil pipe leaves the building about five feet
below the floor level. It leads Into a system of small
tanks, ten in number, which have never operated as a
septic tank does. They are nothing but cesspools. An outlet
pipe originally ran to dry wells, or leaching wells,
located 75 or 100 yards w"*est of the building, in almost the
lowest part of the field. These wells are filled with
ground water every spring and the effluent has several times
broken through the surface. New w^ells have been provided
nearer the building. But the effluent is not clear water,
as It should be if it came from a real septic tank; It is
loaded with solid matter. As soon as this clogs the ground
about a dry well, the well is worthless. The last wells
were placed at the end of the row of small tanks, so as to
use the highest ground available, a nd are the largest ones
In use. Cleaning the small tanks and providing these new
wells in 1939 cost $232, The cesspool tanks have been
cleaned each year since, and until a more adequate system
of sewage disposal Is provided this will be an annual charge
of $50 to $75, plus the cost, sooner or later, of more
dry wells.
It may well be added that cleaning these cesspools
Is a menace to community health. We have been fortunate thus
far in not having sickness of pupils charged to opening
these tanks, but this health hazard is another strong argu-
ment for seeking a permanent solution of the problem as soon
as industrial and labor conditions permit such an endeavor.
ENROLLMENT.
A table at the end of the report shows school mem-
bership by buildings on October 1, 1942, and enrollment for
the last ten years is shown. The elementary membership had
been declining from the high point of 1265 in 1933 to
1067 in 1941. Last October there w a s a slight increase,
to 1087. The High School had its highest membership in
1940, when 527 students were enrolled on October 1, The
number dropped to 473 last year, a nd 434 this year. Such
a falling off is not unusual in high schools, due to war
conditions. Ours is probably about an average.

THE WESTLANDS SCHOOL.
The addition to the Westlands School, consisting-of
four new classrooms, new toilets, teachers' rooms, a new
heating plant, and an assembly room, was completed and
occupied in J a nu a ry. In several respects this is now the mas
most modern and the most satisfactory of the elementary
schools, and it may well serve as a standard to be met
when other buildings are enlarged or replaced. The new
part is of frame construction, like the old building, but
the entire building is faced with brick. This will^eliminate
the cost of painting every few years. The ceilings in the
new part atfeof celotex, which provides insulation a nd will
save fuel. Toilets are on the level of the classroom
floors, accessible a nd easily supervised. An office with
store room is furnished the principal, and a rest room for
the teachers. All furniture is of the movable type. The
assembly room in the basement has 200 folding chairs and
a stage. The P a rent-Teacher Association has fitted out a
small basement room as a kitchen with electric range,
cupboards, sink, etc. Since the playground with its
tennis and volley ball courts and baseball diamond Is used
by the public, toilets for men and for women were provided.
These, and also the Janitor's tool room, are entered from
the playground.
The total appropriation for the building was
£&a*8L42x $51,200, a nd the cost wa3 $50,849.76.
THE SCHOOLS IN WAR TIME.
A report for this year would not be complete without
mention of some of the effects of the War, for schools, like
everything else^ cannot run as usual. Older students have
left school, some to enter industry, others to join the
armed services. The men teacher-coaches are gone. School
activities are greatly curtailed. W a r Time in these winter
months has forced pupils to leave home before sunrise. Some
supplies, such as typewriters, are not obtainable. Books
cost more. It has been impossible to maintain the dental
service under the arrangement formerly in effect. A greater
number of pupils have paying jobs out of school hours, and
in the fall boys were excused from attendance In order to
aid in harvesting crops. These trying times have inspired
some students to more earnest effort; others have seemed
content to drift while awaiting their country's call.
To mention one good result, the War has placed a needed
emphasis on health and physical education. We have
started this at the top, and the students in the High School
are 100$ enthusiastic and cooperative under the leadership
of the new director, Edward J. Schulte. Citizens would
find these classes In the assembly hall interesting to visit.
Another gooi result is the Increased interest in science
and mathematics, hard subjects. They are needed in every
branch of the armed services, and Federal authorities have
deplored the tendency of students in both high school and
college to bypass them in favor of subjects which require
less mental effort.
127
School routine has been broken by registration a nd
rationing programs. A tribute id due teachers in Chelms-
ford and everywhere for the good spirit they have shown and
the excellent results they have attained in these wholly
new tasks. True, they have been paid for the time spent,
but the conscientioua teacher has always had in mind that
these interruptions mean doing the same work with pupils in
fewer hours. She measures her year's work as so much
arithmetic taught, so many pages in L a tin, so many events in
history, not as so many days behind the desk. If she is
given fewer days for her task, she endeavors in every possi-
ble way to do the same amount of work with her class.
All honor to the American teacher for her share in the
present crisis.
The assistance given teachers in their woric in ration-
ing, both by adufits and by older students, is acknowledged
with thanks. The existing parent-teacher associations
have continued their valuable work, a nd It is a matter
of regret that the schools in some sections do not have this
organized home support. In behalf of teachers and pupils
appreciation is expressed to all who have been of service,
and especially to you, the members of the School Committee.
Respectfully submitted,
George S. Wright,
Superintendent of Schools.

The regular routine of our school has been disturbed by the
war in many ways. Our three men teacher-coaches, Mr. Knightly,
Mr. Boyce, and Mr. I vers enlisted in the Navy, and Mr. Fogg, an-
other teacher who was a Reserve Officer, was called into the
Army. The absence of these men is a real loss to both pupils and
faculty.
The uncertainty in the minds of our boys as to whether they
should complete their high school work or enlist in the service
of our Country has not helped. The fact that many parents are
away from their homes either in the Armed Services or working in
defense factories is a great loss to our boys and girls. The
omission of inter-scholastic athletics is felt by the entire
school and very keenly so by the few superior athletes who have
been looking forward to their senior year when they could help
to maintain the excellent record that Chelmsford High School has
made in the past.
There are many other hardships due to the war that could be
mentioned. What is the duty of the school at the present time?
Our first duty is to do our part to win this war. We do not like
to think of training our boys and girls for war, but if they will
have to go we should get them ready. We will win the war but the
better our young people are trained the sooner the war will be
over. Physical training is one of the first requirements we have
been asked to meet. We have started on a full time Physical Edu-
cational program for both boys and girls. We have two classes of
pre-flight Aeronautics, one class of basic Mathematics for senior
boys who have not studied mathematics since they were freshmen.
Emphasis on war-needs is being made in other classes. The new
Physical Education department under the direction of Mr. Schulte,
assisted by Mrs. Poland and Mrs. Corcoran, is going ahead rap-
idly. The pupils are getting excellent experience. We would
welcome parents and other citizens who would like to visit these
or any other classes in the school.
Boys and girls should be made to feel that it is their pa-
triotic duty to get as much education as they can. Pupils
129
should spend four full years in high school before thinking of
going to college. Colleges cannot do the work of the high
schools as well as the high schools can do it. The War Depart-
ment does not want boys to train for officers without their four
full years of high school work completed.
The education of our youth is a twenty-four hour a day job.
Everyone, parents, teachers, pupils, and other citizens should
plan and work together so that our boys and girls even in war
times can live the best lives possible.

the Westlands school. The sum of $1400 was appropriated to
cover preliminary expenses. The Moderator appointed

Donald A. Dunsford. The committee organized by electing
Mr. Hartley chairman and Mr. Dunsford secretary.
The firm of Ashton a nd Huntress of Lawrence, the
architects for the addition to the High School, was em-
ployed. Their plans for a four-room addition on the rear of

proved. Without a dissenting vote the Town appropriated

equipment, making the total appropriation $51,200.
